frankly with a team as good as the nationals and the playoffs, maybe even in the world series, we don't want to a sideshow of the metro being involved. >> metro requires a $29,000 deposit per hour to keep the system open. if enough riders use the system, all or part of that deposit is then refunded. another gorgeous, cool day. we could get used to this. storm team 4 meteorologist doug camera has more on conditions right now. hey, doug. >> we could get used to this and we should be able to for the next couple days. the weather just perfect. let's show you the temperature. it doesn't get much better this. a perfect afternoon. no rain to talk about. not going to see any rain anytime soon. i think we'll be dry all the way through the rest of the week. the weekend, however, could be a little bit of a different story.

perfect. temperatures 77 to about 82. light winds again. through the next couple days -- we watch a little system on saturday. once again, that system should stay far enough to the north that most of us remain dry. still have to put in at least a 30% chance of a shower for now. saturday and sunday, sunday around 82 with the sunshine. monday looking good. then watching what could be a fairly potent storm next tuesday. but that is still a week away. when i say potent, i don't mean strong, damaging thunderstorms. it just could mean some pretty good rain around here, which wouldn't be a bad thing, on a tuesday. if we're going to get sunshine this tuesday, maybe snow next tuesday -- i mean rain, rain. >> snow. time warp. >> getting carried away. >> my fall. just a little rain next tuesday. >> this is what happens to the meteorologists when there's little weather. >> a snow cone maybe.

management division. he spent two years in prison for helping americans hide their money overseas. he was released last mth and is under house arrest now. his lawyers say the $104 million reward should encourage more people to become whistle-blowers. a trail blazing army veteran celebrated a special milestone today. it is alice dixon's 105th birthday. she deployed to europe during world war i irk as part of an army battalion known as 6-888. it was the only battalion comprised of all african-american women. they delivered billions of pieces of mail to soldiers fighting in europe. the veterans affairs medical center in northwest d.c. honored her today. she talked about the secret to her longevity. >> you have extras, give somebody something else. be kind to people and share. that's why god let me stay here this long. >> dixon says growing up with eight siblings helped her learn to share. she's the oldest surviving

hello, everybody. welcome back. i'm meteorologist doug camera. beautiful afternoon. 78 degrees, winds calm, plenty of sunshine. temperatures are going to go down a little bit tonight. it's going to be a fairly cool morning. 72 in gaithersburg right now. 80 in rockville. 72 in reston. herndon, centreville, right now at 74 degrees. a nice evening, no rain. not going to see rain on the radar all week long. i think the next best chance for rain will come on saturday. that chance only a small chance. i think most of us will remain on the dry side.

overnight, this is where we'll be early in the morning. this is about the 6:00, 7:00 temperatures. about 57 in washington. by around 9:00, temperatures will begin to warm up. if you have a jacket on early, you'll be able to take it off fairly quickly. this is where we'll be in the afternoon. 82 leesburg, manassas and culpepper. 81 d.c. upper 70s back along i-81. just about a perfect, perfect wednesday. tomorrow. wednesday. dr. hellie still die seconding the game. right? >> why not. always wanted to be a surgeon. when you have something as pleasant as rg3 to talk about, why not? the most pleasant surgery of all time. possibly nobody is happier to have him on the team than the redskins defense.

the skins dominated time of possession against the saints, which always makes the defense's job a whole lot easier. the skins "d" has been overshadowed a bit because of griffin's record-setting performance, but the guys on the other side of the ball should not be overlooked. minus that blocked punt, the defense only allowed drew brees and company three touchdowns. that's not much for the high-powered saints. it could have been because the skins were so fresh. >> we was getting a lot of rest. offense was moving the ball, scoring points. we haven't had that in a long, long time with the redskins. it's good to watch, you know. when we on the sideline resting up. that's why we was able to be effective once we got back out there with three and outs sometimes. >> i don't know what else to say. it makes it easier because you know the offense will control the ball, control the clock, move the ball and put up points. maybe you can will be a little more aggressive, maybe you can take not more chances but just, you know, you can let it hang out a little more.

>> play all day at that pace we played. we dominated the ball. that was the key. that was the key. the way the offense played and the way the secondary played. our front seven has got an lot of credit and we from edicted we would carry the team but the secondary played great and the offense played great. >> almost expecting rg3 to fly in here with wings or something at some point. >> like an angel. >> amazing the accolades he's getting all over the country, really from everybody. you have to hope it lasts a little while longer. >> let's pause to enjoy this moment. >> let it marinate. i think everybody's enjoying it. it's been fun. redskins expected to put nick sundberg on injured reserve with that broken arm. they've signed justin snow to take his place. monday night double dip last night. we learned our neighbors to the north have a pretty good football team. in baltimore, a touching pregame tribute to the ravens former owner art modell, who passed away last week. we pick up the action in the

second quarter. ravens up 10-3. i think joe flacco going to make some noise this year. great pass to anquan boldin for the touchdown. flacco 22 of 29 for 299 yards and two touchdowns. third quarter, baltimore up 27-13. and you know in baltimore the ravens defense will not be one upped by the offense. so there's ed reed picking off andy dalton. a 34-yard interception return for the score. reed breaks the all-time interception return yardage record on the play. and the ravens go on to win 44-13. game two of "monday night football," norv turner and the chargers in oakland taking on the raiders. first quarter, oakland up 3-0. chargers quarterback philip rivers airs it out to former tennessee vol and new orleans saint robert meacham. 46-yard hook-up. san diego would settle for a field goal. second quarter, more rivers. we're tied at three now. and this is just a great individual effort by the quarterback, creates some space,
